CJR Propulsion Ltd, a leading European manufacturer and designer of propellers and sterngear systems has recently invested £800k on a new state of the art CNC Machining centre to increase the quality and accuracy of its propellers.
The new Mazak Integrex E1060 vertical combination machining centre was purchased from Yamazaki Mazak, the world’s largest supplier of CNC Lathes, Machining Centres and Manufacturing systems.
The Mazak Integrex E1060 is arguably the most advanced multi tasking machine in the industry. Using turbine blade engineering, the machine is able to produce single set up machining with the ability to machine even very small and complex parts to outstanding levels of precision. With this new equipment in place, productivity levels can increase by up to 50% without compromising on quality.
Mark Russell, Managing Director at CJR says, “Our philosophy is to make the highest quality propellers and sterngear systems in the world. It is therefore imperative that we continue to invest in the latest technology and to embrace current manufacturing techniques. This latest acquisition, which utilises integration software developed in the aerospace industry, ensures that CJR remains firmly at the forefront of propeller manufacturing technology. In conjunction with the capability and resource within our design office, CJR is able to offer its customers propellers and sterngear systems of unsurpassed quality, consistency, reliability and performance.”
The new machine will ensure that CJR will be able to deliver fully CNC machined propellers for complete accuracy. With this advanced manufacturing capability, CJR is able to offer its customers the ultimate solution in propeller and sterngear systems.
